You can use a contacts app for your clients, calendar for scheduling, Google maps for directions, Internet through 3G, camera for warranty issues, etc. You can also e-mail customers an estimate or invoice, or print one out if you have an Airprint printer.One big advantage is being able to use Google maps at night. When you arrive at a customers' home, it is almost impossible to see the house number much of the time. With Maps it shows exactly when you have pulled up in front of the correct house.
